Laura's POV :

After witnessing Louis with Zoe, I knew I couldn't be there anymore. I sprinted backwards, ran past the students and towards the exit.

When I reached home, I tossed out my backpack in the middle of the living room. Locking myself in the bedroom, I slumped onto the floor and rested my head on the door, my gaze fixated on the empty floor.

Maybe it was for the best.........

Louis deserved someone who could take care of him, not someone who needed to be taken care of every damn minute. He needed someone who is strong, confident and funny, not a weak and boring person like me, who didn't even know how to talk to someone properly.

Maybe I wasn't good enough for Louis.
Maybe Louis deserved someone better......
Someone who wasn't a fucked up person like me.

Someone like Zoe.

A sharp pain shot through my heart as I suddenly realized what desicion I was making.

I had to let him go.....

I sat up with my knees lay in the fetal position, as I covered my face with my hands, sobs escaping from deep within my heart.

But how could I forget someone, who gave me so much to remember?

*3rd Person's POV* :

Louis flopped down on his usual seat in English. A smile automatically found it's way on his lips as he recognised the familiar fragrance of Laura's perfume, indicating she was sitting next to him.

"Hey Laura!"

No answer.

"How're you?"

Still no answer.

"Lauraa?"

"Can you shut up?" Laura snapped.
"Hey....you okay?" Louis asked softly, reaching out to touch her hand.

She immediately jerked him off.
"Leave me alone."

Louis was confused.
What had he done!?

"Do you regret it? Do you regret that....that we kissed?" he suddenly mumbled, scarcely audible. "Do you?"
he asked, wishing Laura won't say yes.

He'd be heartbroken if she said yes, but he had to know. She couldn't regret it. She just couldn't!

Why did this have to happen to him?

Laura swallowed hardly, looking pale. She pressed her lips together, before finally asking, "Regret WHAT? I have no idea what you're talking about. You're confusing me."

This had to be a prank!
Laura was joking around, wasn't she?

Suddenly, Louis broke out in laughter, causing Laura to throw him a curious glance.

"Oh god, you got me there! Fuck, for a moment I thought you were being serious." Louis replied, giggling.

"Niall told you to pull off this prank on me, didn't he? That leprechaun seriously thinks he can prank on me!" Louis burst of laughing.

Something tightened in Laura's chest as Louis were laughing. She stared at his face, thinking how adorable he was, before finally lowering her gaze and harshly wiping the single teardrop that slided down her cheek.

"Stop." Laura said in a broken voice. Tears were gathering in her eyes.

"Laura, that's enough, okay? I got it. You wanted to prank me and I believed you. You won! Stop it now." Louis pleaded, his laughter dried out.

Louis waited for a few seconds, before finally saying, "Laura please, talk to me. Please don't shut me out again. It kind of hurts."

Teardrops were freely sliding down her cheeks. But this time, she didn't try to wipe it.

What was the point of hiding your teardrops, when the person you're crying for won't see it? When the person you are crying for would never know how much you love him?

Louis, on the other hand, was completely silent.

Joking and pranking became his defence mechanism when he lost his eyes. He needed to hold onto it for surviving. He never learnt how to take things seriously.

But for the first time, he left his jokes aside and started thinking about the situation seriously.
